I can pretty much guarantee you that what Walmart and most stores minus maybe pet stores is not height quality or made in the US. There are so many other safe options in my opinion. My girls are also extreme chewers so according to that article it wouldn’t be a great thing for them. |
Well, like I said, I don't and would never use them; but the fact is it depends on who is making them and the dog. There are many factors involved. I never said that Walmart has safe ones....I don't think they have much in the way of safe edible items for dogs.
I don't know that the article was biased....they actually said there are safer alternatives.
